It was a great place to work but its not a place for people with no backbone. If anyone says the casino industry is just like any other industry they would be wrong. Everyone I worked with there will agree with that. Its not just because of the people that come in but the hours you work its hard on you and your body.

The most enjoyable part of this job was my co workers, everyone was always friendly and helpful. I learned to count money fast and a lot of it in addition to getting a behind the scene understanding of the work flow in a casino environment. The hardest part of the job was seeing people /tellers get fired due to miscounting payouts and having bank shortages.

When Argosy began, it was fun yet very active and fast paced. It was a great place to work. I started out as a housekeeper on the Pavilion and eventually moved to the Boat. After 15 months, I then moved to the Slot Department. We worked together as a well oiled machine. As time went on and the company was sold, changes led to people being fired, or bought out to shrink the worker numbers in each department.

The management encouraged the employees to learn more. I was allowed to work in 2 different departments on a regular basis. Once in the Finance office, I was able to learn hands-on what I was studying in college.

I worked there as a freshman in college. I had to leave because of the bid schedule and I was low on the totem pole. I would have possibly stayed there for my entire time in college, but there were no shifts that could work with my class schedule.

I learned a lot working there. They have many opportunities to learn different aspects of your job. Overall the managers/head of departments are two faced and will lie to make themselves look good no matter what. They overwork there employees and treat them poorly.

Argosy was a very stressful job. It was almost like being in high school again. Everyone talked about everyone. It is a fast paced job which was great because your day went by quick. I do not agree with the point system.

You work in a lock cage, handle customer transactions, with cashing checks, cash advances from their credit card, chips. There was nothing really hard about this job. It was a very fast pace job. What I enjoyed the most was customer relations...

Pros

Soft drinks breakfast, lunch....this was back in 1999

Cons

When the casino boat used to cruise always get struck on it when it was time to get off work.

It's just like any other job. Great learning experience for those who are just getting started in the security field. You will have your occasional bad days but other than that its a fun place to work.

Typical day at work would be me coming in as a security guard, keeping workplace safe and using radio communications to report anything suspicious. We dealt with large sums of money and paperwork. The most difficult part of the job was dealing with irate customers who did not understand our polices as security. The most enjoyable part of job was watching people have fun and win large amounts of money.
